The Power ISA mandates that all writes to the Authority
Mask Register (AMR) must always be preceded as well as
succeeded by a context synchronizing instruction.
This makes sure that the tests follow this requirement
when attempting to update a pkey's access rights.

This is a new selftest that raises SIGUSR1 signals and handles it in a
set of different ways, trying to create different scenario for testing
purpose.
This test works raising a signal and calling sigreturn interleaved
with TM operations, as starting, suspending and terminating a
transaction. The test depends on random numbers, and, based on them,
it sets different TM states.
Other than that, the test fills out the user context struct that is
passed to the sigreturn system call with random data, in order to make
sure that the signal handler syscall can handle different and invalid
states properly.
This selftest has command line parameters to control what kind of
tests the user wants to run, as for example, if a transaction should
be started prior to signal being raised, or, after the signal being
raised and before the sigreturn. If no parameter is given, the default
is enabling all options.
This test does not check if the user context is being read and set
properly by the kernel. Its purpose, at this time, is basically
guaranteeing that the kernel does not crash on invalid scenarios.

A new self test that forces MSR[TS] to be set without calling any TM
instruction. This test also tries to cause a page fault at a signal
handler, exactly between MSR[TS] set and tm_recheckpoint(), forcing
thread->texasr to be rewritten with TEXASR[FS] = 0, which will cause a BUG
when tm_recheckpoint() is called.
This test is not deterministic, since it is hard to guarantee that the page
access will cause a page fault. In order to force more page faults at
signal context, the signal handler and the ucontext are being mapped into a
MADV_DONTNEED memory chunks.
Tests have shown that the bug could be exposed with few interactions in a
buggy kernel. This test is configured to loop 5000x, having a good chance
to hit the kernel issue in just one run. This self test takes less than
two seconds to run.
This test uses set/getcontext because the kernel will recheckpoint
zeroed structures, causing the test to segfault, which is undesired because
the test needs to rerun, so, there is a signal handler for SIGSEGV which
will restart the test.
v2: Uses the MADV_DONTNEED memory advice
v3: Fix memcpy and 32-bits compilation
v4: Does not define unused macros

This tests that a bctr (Branch to counter and link), ie. a function
call, to a wildly out-of-bounds address is handled correctly.
Some old kernel versions didn't handle it correctly, see eg:
"powerpc/slb: Force a full SLB flush when we insert for a bad EA"

There are some functions, especially register related, which can
be shared across multiple selftests/powerpc test directories.
This patch creates a new include directory to store those shared
files, so that the file layout becomes more neat.
